11 April Fool's Day Pranks To Play On Your Parents

If there's anything better than pranking your parents, it's pranking your parents and not taking the blame. If you no longer live with your parents, but are in close vicinity to them, these April Fool's Day pranks to play on parents are perfect. Not close enough to home? Enlist a sibling. No siblings? Utilize technology. It doesn't matter if you live with them, next to them, or across the country from them, you'll find a way to pull a prank on your parents this April Fool's Day.

You've got to do something to your parents on April Fool's Day, right? After all, they spent plenty of time torturing you during your formative years. Bad haircuts, questionable clothing choices, terrible family photos. Your mother deserves to have her teeth turned blue or the strange odor of chicken soup in the shower, while your father searches the entire car for signs of a fender bender or soaks himself completely on his way out the door. It'll make you laugh almost as much as those terrible bowl cuts.

And if you worry about your parents getting p*ssed over the jokes, just remind them that these parental-friendly April Fools' Day pranks are all in good fun.

1Gummy Dentures

Fill up a glass of water, plop two of these bad boys in, and leave them on either your mom or your dad's nightstand. It doesn't matter who stumbles across them first, the reactions should be equally as priceless.

2AutoCorrect Trickery

Snag your mom or dad's phone when you get the chance, and think of a phrase they use a lot. Then, go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Add New Shortcut. Type a ludicrous word or phrase into the Phrase field, and then type the phrase they use a lot into the Shortcut field. For example: If your mom says "love you" a lot, add "Sexy Sexy" into the Phrase field. Every time she types "love you" it will automatically change to "Sexy Sexy". The confusion is hilarious.

3Faux Car Accident

4Death Before Decaf

In my house, this would be a prank punishable by death. Exchange their regular coffee grinds for decaf or replace with chia seeds. Leave them wondering why they're tired all day, or why their coffee isn't brewing.

5Temporary Tattoo

If you know you'll see your parents, find yourself a realistic looking temporary tattoo, and put it somewhere you can reveal it to them. Tell them you have a surprise. Make sure the tattoo is something questionable for the best effect.
